I would love to but it's got no tax, mot, or insurance.
I'll dig it out the corner of the garage this summer if i've still got it.

Nope, I don't think that's very good. Crap 0-60, and a 13 sec 1/4 mile even though it's not hit 100? Bollocks.

Crap 0-60!
If you think 5.5 is crap then you're a little deluded!
Also by saying that's the same specs as your Nova, means your Nova is crap too! 
I'm not saying mine's the fastest around, but it ain't crap.
Also mine's still standard, haven't started modding yet, should be able to get it down a bit with a zorst and better induction.
New ECU and bigger intercoolers and turbos would prolly help a bit too.
Times will still be a bit "slow" until I get traction control.
I'll see if you still think it's slow when it's pushing out some decent BHP figures 
Oh and your Nova does 170+mph does it!?!

I think it'd go bang way! before that.
I also reckon your mods cost more than my car alone...
So if I had ££££s to throw around, I could make a Nova fast too.
Not attacking you, just asking you not to be such a dork

Arse!
My apologies for insinuating you had a Nova, Pete.
I got the posts mixed up 
Sorry.
I still think you're talking poo about it being crap performance though...
What do you drive?

I knew there had to be a Supra hiding in this thread somewhere....!
   

But easy with the boat talk!
May be a little "sluggish" as standard but with a few mods they can be quite perky
